How about $260 for you?

Update: the promotion period has been extended to 31st December 2011

Yes, it's free money again. This time round, it's from Standard Chartered Bank.

StanChart always have free-cash promotions, just by signing up their credit cards. I had gotten $300+ cash  for signing up their cards a couple of months back. :D

So, what are they offering this time? You can get $80 when your online application for a credit card is approved. However, this free-cash promotion is only valid for a maximum two card applications, i.e. you can only receive $160 ($80x2). You may check out http://www.standardchartered.com.sg/personal-banking/cards/en/ for more information on this promotion. Do sign up fast as the promotion is ending on 30th Nov 2011 (Update: the promotion period has been extended to 31st December 2011).

Before you start to think there's something wrong with the title of this post, let me introduce to you another offer by StanChart -- Service Guarantee. When you apply for a card online and submit all the supporting documents before 2pm on a working day, StanChart promises to deliver the card to your doorstep by the next working day. Otherwise, they will give you $50 for not meeting this Service Guarantee. But of course, the card application must be approved first.

That's where the missing $100 comes from. If you apply for two cards, you might get an addition of $100 ($50x2) for this Service Guarantee thingy. (p.s. there is a high chance of getting this, especially if you apply on a Monday during lunchtime, since they need to clear the backlogs accumulated over the weekend?) For more information on this Service Guarantee, do check out http://www.standardchartered.com.sg/personal-banking/cards/features/service-guarantee/en/.

If you are eligible for a credit card, why not go apply for two StanChart credit cards?   Been there, done that. Free money is better than none!
